Larian Studios addresses Baldur's Gate 3 as a "next-generation RPG". Made with the new Divinity 4.0 engine, Baldur’s Gate 3 offers players unprecedented freedom to explore, experiment, and interact with a world that reacts to their choices. A grand, cinematic narrative will bring players closer to their characters than ever before, as they venture through Larian Studios' biggest world yet.

The game also offers one of the most impressive Character creation systems, with insane customization options, like photorealistic fantasy races, based on 3D scans of actors and models (blemishes and all), selected because their features roughly resembled the direction for each race in the game, as well of course for diversity and variety in the human-like races.
